I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY).

Interview

3 phone interviews. First interview with recruiter, second with hiring manager, and third with hiring manager’s team. In the last interview, I was asked really strange questions (e.g., what’s your favorite statistical test? do you use r or r studio? what do you do on the weekends?). Given that the last interview was only scheduled for an hour, they could have asked me more technical questions — considering that I was applying to be their Data Scientist.

Also, the recruiter was probably the most unprofessional internal recruiter I’ve ever worked with. Never addressed me by my name in any emails, tried to convince me their Data Scientist salaries are fair for the market (spoiler alert: they’re not), and ghosted me after the 3rd round of interviews. Eventually the HM had to send the rejection email, since the recruiter dropped the ball. Super unprofessional and a waste of the everyone’s time.

I applied online and the first round was with HR which takes about 30 minutes. then I have phone interview with hiring manager. we talked about 30 minutes and asked me about my background and some behavior questions like why nielsen, what do you see yourself in 3 years.

It was very quick process. Had a phone interview with the recruiter. Then had an in person interview with the hiring manager and a team member. I then had a final interview with the hiring manager's manager.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in February 2018.

Interview

Applied through my university's career portal. Invited to interview, which went fine if not perfectly. Two people interviewed me at the same time and were often not on the same page, at times talking over one another and contributing to a relatively awkward environment. After the interview was where Nielsen let me down, however. I interviewed on Friday and received no contact for a week and a half, whereas friends of mine who had also interviewed for the same position had received both job offers and rejection emails. I sent an email to the campus recruiter asking for an update on my status on a Wednesday, an email which has gone unanswered since (it's now the Saturday after). For a company that prides itself so highly on its culture, Nielsen let me down heavily in this interview process.

A large company that has been losing ground to a smaller company that produces a niche version of the large company's products. What would you advise the large company do to regain ground? Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in January 2018.

Interview

I had a generic phone interview with the Nielsen recruiter, who was asking about my desired range, experience, and described the job. Then, I had a technical phone interview with the development manager. Finally, I was invited for a 3 hour interview with the manager, front-end developer, and server support engineer. Questions involved whiteboard exercises and more technical questions.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in January 2018.

Interview

Typical onsite interview, 1:1 interview with 4 people. Apparently one of the guy is architect for 10 years and don't know what comparator in java is. Before the interview, the recruiter followed up like a puppy chasing its owner, but once the interview was over does not reply back.

Two phone interviews asking stupid, personal questions about family and friends in last one without a chance to see and meet someone in person. Told by hiring manager I got the job and to await the next step, an in-person interview with Director and team within 1-2 days and to call her directly if a delay. About 5 days later got rejection email. This left a really bad experience. I felt distributive injustice, and it destroyed the company's reputation in my book.
